28 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
GI:
Pelvic Nerve Innervation
lower large intestine
rectum
anus
GI:
Vagus Nerve Innervation
Espophagus
Stomach
Pancreas
Upper Large Intestine
GI Plexus

1. Submucosal (Meissner's)
2. Myenteric (Auerbach's)
receive input from both Symp and Para
1. Submucosal: secretion and blood flow; receives sensory input from chemoR and mechanoR in GI tract
2. Myenteric: motility of GI smooth muscle
Gastrin:

Action
secreted by G cells of stomach antrum

1. inc. H+ secretion by parietal cells
2. trophic effect on gastric mucosa
Gastrin:

Secretion Stimuli
Secreted by G cells in response to meal:

1. small peptides and aa in stomach
2. distension of stomach
3. vagal stimulation via GRP
Gastrin:

Inhibition
1. H+ in lumen (negative feedback)
2. Somatostatin
CCK:

Action
secreted by I cells of duod/jejunum

1. gallbladder contraction, relaxation of spincter of Oddi→bile secretion
2. pancreatic EZ secretion
3. potentiate secretin-induced stimulation of pancreatic HCO3- secretion
4. trophic effect on exocrine pancreas
5. inhibit gastric emptying
6. receptive relaxation: inc. distensibility of stomach for food
CCK:

Secretion Stimuli
1. small peptides, aa
2. fatty acids and monoglycerides
*BUT NOT triglycerides b/c cannot cross intestinal cell membrane
→fatty meals slow gastric emptying to allow for more time intestinal digestion/absorption
Secretin:

Action
released by S cells of duodenum; homologous to glucagon

1. pacreatic HCO3- secretion; trophic effect on exocrine pancreas
2. inc. bile production and liver HCO3- and H20 secretion
3. inhibit parietal cells
Secretin:

Secretion Stimuli
1. H+ in duodenum
2. Fatty acids in duodenum
GIP:

Action
secreted by duodenum/jejunum; homologous to secretin, glucagon

1. stimulate insulin release (oral glucose more effective than IV glucose)
2. inhibit parietal cells
GIP:

Secretion Stimuli
fatty acids
amino acids
oral glucose (carbs)
GI Paracrines
secreted by GI mucosal endocrine cells

1. Somatostatin
2. Histamine
Somatostatin
-stim. by H+
-inhibited by vagal stimluation

1. Inhibits release of all GI hormones
2. Inhibits parietal cells
Histamine
-secreted by mast cells

Increases gastric H+ secretion:
1. stimulates parietal cells (via H2 R-->inc. cAMP)
2. potentiates effect of gastrin and vagal stimulation
GI Neurocrines
-released from GI tract neurons

1. VIP
2. GRP
3. Enkephalins
VIP: vasoactive intestinal peptide
-released from mucosal and smooth mm neurons

1. relaxation, including LES
2. stimulates pancreatic HCO3- secretion, inhibits parietal cells

*secreted by pancreatic islet cell tumors→pancreatic cholera (diarrhea)
GRP: gastrin releasing peptide
-released from vagus nerves that innervate G cells

1. stimulates gastrin release from G cells
Enkephalins
-secreted from nerves of mucosa, sm. mm

1. stimulate contraction of sm. mm
2. inhibit intestinal secretion of fluid and electrolytes
*basis of opiates to treat diarrhea
Gastric Empyting:

INHIBITORS
1. Fat: by stimulating CCK release
2. H+ in duodenum: via direct neural reflexes (H+ R in duodenum)
1. Gastroileal Reflex

2. Gastrocolic Reflex
Presence of food in stomach:

1. triggers inc. peristalsis in ileum; relaxation of ileocecal sphincter (mediated by extrinsic ANS)

2. inc. motility of colon and inc. frequency of mass movements (mediated by paraS and CCK/gastrin)
Saliva:

Function
Function:
1. Initial starch digestion (a-amylase)
2. initial TG digestion (lingual lipase)
3. lubrication
4. protection
Saliva:

Composition
flow rate determines composition of saliva:
@ low flow rate: low osmolarity (low Na, Cl, HCO3; high K)
@ hi flow rate: closest to plasma

1. high [K+, HCO3]
2. low [Na, Cl]
3. hypotonic
4. a-amylase, lingual lipase, kallikrein
Gastric H+ Secretion

Stimulation
1. Vagal Stimulation:
a. directly (Ach stim. of parietal cell)
b. indirectly (GRP stim. of G-cell)
2. Gastrin (via CCK-B R)
3. Histamine (released by ECL cells)
Aldosterone
Stimulates:
1. ENac channels in the distal tubule
2. acinar ducts of the saliva
3. Na/K channels in the colon
Vibrio Cholera

Mechanism of Diarrhea
Stimulates Cl- secretion

1. Cholera toxin turns on Gs
2. Inc. cAMP levels⟿Cl- channels open
3. Na, H20 follow Cl- into lumen⟿ Secretory diarrhea
Small Intestine

Absorbed substances
1. Monosaccharides
2. Proteins (di/tripeptides faster than aa)
3. Lipids
